1712 GENERAL CABLE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION et al. 14735794 GAUDETTE 103 41.50 103 ULMER & BERNE LLP MURATA, AUSTIN

The Appellant argues that “Guo fails to teach maintaining separation between the first composition and the second composition so as to prevent premature curing resulting from a reaction between the cross-linking agent of the first composition and the metal silicate binder of the second composition.” Appeal Br. 21. This argument is not persuasive because it fails to refute the Examiner’s finding that changing the sequence of adding components to the mixture such that the metal silicate binder is added last would have been obvious, and the Examiner’s determination that claim 1 does not require separating the first and second compositions for a specific time period. Final Act. 6; Ans. 4; see In re Burhans, 154 F.2d 690, 692 (CCPA 1946) (explaining that in the absence of unexpected results, the ordering of process steps is prima facie obvious).
